Need salad. Yam nua
Wade J.

This restaurant not accessible without using the stairs. Enter the bar and go up to the restaurant. The stairs are fine. Not too skinny like many in the keys. The staff is super nice and quite eager to accommodate. I was down during Fantasy Fest and this was off the beaten path so it was not too busy. I ordered a mojito. Immediately the waitress asked if I liked sweet or not. I said not and the drink was perfect. The mint was muddled correctly; it was not beat to a pulp. The beef salad was tasty. I've had better but everything was fresh I ordered a 4 (Thai spicy) and it had a little heat but not a number 4. I am a tough sell on beef salad because it's my favorite and I've had many epic renditions. This was about a 7 of 10. More spice would have made it an 8. Crushed roasted rice would have made it a 9. The pad Thai was outstanding. I hope they didn't just get lucky, because it's in my top 5 best ever. The lobster was extremely fresh...It called me nasty names every time I bit into it. Typical for Fantasy Fest. It was naturally sweet and tender and went with the main dish better than I'd imagined. The ambiance is great anywhere eating outside in the keys if you love an island feel. The mesh chairs are uncomfortable. Before I could tell the waitress she brought me a nice wooden chair that was great. I caught a glimpse of the dining area inside and it looked much nicer than the deck. It might be more appropriate for date night. Next time I'll try the choo chee snapper and a dirty Thai tea.

Crab Rangoon
Kira P.

I went here after a TikTok recommendation. The lobster pad Thai is one of the most popular items and the pad Thai was pretty solid but the lobster was a bit tough. We also got the crab Rangoon which was some of the best we've ever had. We heard from locals that it has some of the best sushi in Key West but unfortunately we didn't get any. We will go back. It's on the expensive side IMO but we were on vacay so worth it

Bento box with tempura shrimp
Boon C.

Our experience for lunch is not bad. Dinner is a bit expensive. The restaurant is at the second floor elevated for a view to the inner bay. Parking is available at the boat marina. We got two bento box for the lunch. The lunch box is the way to go. The bento box has sashimi, nigiri, California roll, fried roll, seaweed salad. We got the tempura and the poke. The tempura is below average. The poke is tuna poke. Food is good enough quantities. They are not spectacular but deliver the need. Sashimi is three different fish. Service is a bit slow. The place is easily pack.

Whole Yellowtail Fish, drunken noodle, papaya salad, Red Curry, Chicken Satay, and Wonton Soup
Chastity S.

We ordered various entrees to share family style and also a few drinks such as Thai tea and Thai iced coffee. We also ordered 2 sticky rice and mango which were to die for. We found Thai island when we were getting ready to leave Key West. It's on the second level and the restaurant gives a very different ambiance than the bar below it. We asked for medium spice for everything and it was perfect for our group. The service was impeccable and the lady was sweet as could be. Will definitely come back when we are in town again!

The best Thai restaurant! Delicious food, beautiful view of the bay, and super convenient parking. We first came here last year while in Key West and loved it so much that we had to come back this year. Our favorite spot -- the outdoor veranda, just perfect!

A quaint hidden gem located above the dive bar was unexpected. The sushi rolls were enormous and the crispy duck crispy and juicy. Ambiance was very airy on the balcony. Light breeze to cool you done while enjoying a delightful meal.

Chicken Katsu, Volcano Roll
Victoryia G.

I love this place! The food is absolutely delicious and fresh. I ordered the chicken Katsu , which comes with a hoison tasting sauce and the volcano roll. Honestly the best volcano roll I've ever had. The service is quick and the waiters are very attentive. The view is nice it's right beside a dock which means it's a little more humid than usual, but you can choose to eat inside!

We went around 2pm and the restaurant was not very busy. The service was in tune with our needs. We tried the mango tango, spicy tuna, California, and crunchy munchy. There was a generous amount of seafood in the rolls. The rice for the rolls were amazing and perfectly sticky.

The bar outside

The curry is delicious! I got the pork curry, it's mostly veggies and a perfect serving for one. My meal came out quick and did I say the curry is delicious! Upstairs is the restaurant and mini bar, downstairs is the full bar for night life. Let me just say the outside seating filled soon after I arrived at 6.30pm. I'll definitely return here during my stay in KW!

Best eats in Key west! Our charter captain recommended this place because they would cook our fish we caught. Upon entering the restaurant, We were immediately greeted by a smiling face and cold waters. Once sat, our server recommended the different ways they could cook the fish. We took their recommendation and are so happy we did. Food came out in under 10 minutes and was everything you could ever want. There was fried fish, a special key west roll and a light sear. But their menu was expansive, had every sort of Asian food you could want and more. On top of the food being delicious, our glasses were always kept full, the servers were so kind and very quick. If it couldn't get any better, the restaurant is located on an upper patio with water views, shade and a nice breeze. Even if you don't bring your own fish, theirs was fresh and delicious! I cannot say enough nice things about every interaction.

Chicken Fried Rice
Rob B.

Food very tasty. Rice and portion size is a lot good for sharing. We were very disappointed with the wait staff upon arrival we got warm drinks while other tables received ice water. Waiter was very slow / wait time was long. We ate dinner outside on the patio over looking small bridge nice family setting. Restaurant is upstairs so be prepared. But must highlight the food is very good.

This was SUCH a lovely dinner! My husband and I were in town for vacation and it was such a great…read moreway to kick off our week in Key West. We had never been and had seen some local residents post about it, so we definitely wanted to try it. The restaurant is small and intimate, which we love. We came on a Sunday night and we were seated right away. Our server Ionela was super nice, attentive, and took great care of us all night! Food: For appetizers, we started off with the Grilled Peruvian Scallops and the Lobster Empanadas. Both were really delicious. The scallops were like butter! The presentation was beautiful too. For our entrees, my husband ordered the Grilled Prime Beef Skirt Steak with fries, and I ordered the Yellowtail Snapper Fettuccine. What a TREAT! The fish was so fresh and delicious, it was so so lovely. My husband really enjoyed his meal as well (I took a couple bites and it was great!) I can't wait to come back here again next time (we come every year) and try some other dishes! Highly recommend!!!

Thirsty Mermaid was such a great find in Key West. The seafood was incredibly fresh, beautifully…read moreprepared, and everything we ordered had great flavor. We started with the raw bar and absolutely loved the oysters, clams, and ceviche. Everything tasted fresh and high quality. The shrimp dish was another standout -- perfectly cooked, flavorful, and presented beautifully. We finished with dessert, which was the perfect ending to the meal. BEST KEY LIME PIE ! we had so far in key west! worth trying. The atmosphere is relaxed and fun while still feeling like you're getting a quality dining experience. Service was friendly and attentive, and the menu has a great variety without feeling overwhelming. If you're in Key West and love fresh seafood, oysters, ceviche, and creative dishes, Thirsty Mermaid is definitely worth a stop. We would absolutely come back on our next trip!
